Something like this
This is a screenshot of a textbox, I want same value to be used in a state, but can’t do it currently.
Any way around here?
Why can’t you do it? What happens? Share more details (:
Funny enough I just recently discovered this limitation. @vini_brito create a custom state, type “text”. Go to set state. Insert some text. Then try to add a new dynamic element. It won’t allow it like a normal field would.
Waa, you’re right! Whenever I face that limitation I intuitively use this trick, take a look:
Use a boolean and in the formatting fields build your expression. Then copy the expression to the other field, so it doesn’t matters if it resolves to “yes” or to “no”.

Thanks, @vini_brito, smart hack to the limitation.
But one issue here is that bubble is not allowing to set dynamic value in the default value.
For my use-case, I need a dynamic default value 
Actually, I’ve never been able to set a dynamic value in the default value of a State. I don’t believe that functionality exists - Each state has to be set through the Workflow tab. (Hope I am corrected on this!)
Use a hidden group then! They’re superior custom states 
Build that at its data source, bulletproof way.

agreed, or expressions.
new easy way, try “prepare text” plugin, prepare dynamic text then put it to state.

Yes… I’m using the hidden group in my app.
